It’s nothing about trust issues- privacy is just a foreign concept to that generation. It was dead and gone before they were born. They take for granted that eveyone has their phone on them at all times and is never unreachable, so knowing where all your friends are is just a matter of convenience.

I’m amused by the 14 oxygen-wasting NPCs who are in this picture and didn’t like it.

Ok, so that wasn’t long before Google. But my point is Google didn’t invent searching for stuff on the internet.

Vague hand-waving bullshit either written by an AI or the next writer to lose their job to one.

If and when AI is competent enough to replace 50% of the workforce, do you really think it is going to need an equal or greater number of people working full time at jObS tHaT hAvEn’T bEeN iNvEnTeD yET to manage it?

No. We’re going to feed the migrant workers to the gators and Generation Brainrot is going to spend the rest of their lives working in the fields and meat packing plants. The 0.1% will see line go up, and the rest of us will get Soylent Green before we get UBI.

Just wait until all the venture capital OpenAi raised on a valuation that assumes they will singlehandedly achieve the singularity in 2027, replace all human workers by 2028, and convert 75% of the Earth’s crust to paperclips by 2030 runs out, they can’t operate at a loss anymore, and have to raises prices to a point where they’re actually making a profit.

In a word, Enshittification. The original Cory Doctorow article explaining it

It’s not censorship. It’s just what happens to any platform run by a publicly traded company whose customers are the advertisers and whose users are the product.

I’ll answer your question with two more questions:

What’s the opposite of a rat king? What’s the opposite of an ant mill?

Also I have to question your whole premise of the relationship between religion and cult. Where a cult is the bad kind of something and a religion is the neutral, default kind.

A religion is just the final form of a successful cult that got big enough and old enough that it no longer needs to take the drastic “cult-like” measures to restrict its members and separate them from society- because it has thoroughly infiltrated and colonizied that society to such an extent that being born into that society is enough.

That’s how I read it too at first- and as bad as ‘erotic role play’ with a LLM chatbot sounds, the other one is so much horribly worse.

I would also like to say, fuck Glenn Greenwald.

And here is a better source on why fuck Palantir: Behind The Bastards

The dumb thing here is going to the trouble of drawing vanishing lines but not using a ruler to get them straight, so they may as well have just freehanded the cube in the first place.

Also, platypuses are smaller than you probably thought they were. ( if comparing to beavers and river otters )
